Hit N run at truck stop in Cassville, GA

+1 to the already long list of "Good Call"!!!

I would hate to have that happen to me. I'm very paranoid about parking at the truck stops. Seems like we're 10 times (maybe more?) as likely to get into an accident there than any other place we go to...

 

Only good time to be a rat.
Nice job, here's some cheese.

I bet he don't do it again!

 

Knight will appreciate it and PTL safety will appreciate it more. It's a sick feeling to come out and your truck is hit and nothing you can do.

 

Good for you!!! And shoot don't feel like your snitching! I have had to call in on a driver from my own company before. He backed into another truck and just took off. I was sitting a couple spots down from him when he did it and I saw him looking at me to see if I saw it. I couldn't believe that he actually just left! Now that was snitching but oh well if he didn't have the no-no squares to man up and admit being in the wrong I was glad to do it for him

 

Snitch now, keep your job later. Forget what people call you, just do what you have to do!

 

Good job! You should have reported it to the police as well.

 

good for you. you did everything RIGHT....

i have told of my story when i was parked at the T/A in Bloomsbury, NJ many years ago. a Schneider truck backed into me and took off. i ran (literally) after him in the parking lot, and smacked his drivers door with a ball peen hammer. that made him stop, i got his truck number called Schneider, (the driver was with me) and i told them he "hit and ran"....i could hear his company official scream so loud at him. cost Schneider a few hundred dollars to fix my truck, and they sent a formal letter of apology to my company. to this day, I DO NOT KNOW NOR CARE what happened to that @zz of a steering wheel holder/driver.......

if we DO NOT get involved with hit and runs, then it happens to us....??? wouldn't any one of us appreciate some one stepped up to the plate...??

i KNOW I WOULD....

great job.......don't ever stop "dropping a dime" on a ####### trucker...

be it on the road, truckstop, shipper, receiver, where ever, when ever....

it DOES NOT make it squealing, ratting or what ever else.....it rights a wrong.

 

Yes, I agree with everyone, here. These are the drivers that give the industry a black eye. If this guy isn't capable of pulling out of a truckstop without hitting another truck, he isn't capable of driving around four-wheelers without killing someones family/grandparent/father/mother/teenage kid/etc.... I've been on the recieving end of such an incident. I was awake, and in the truck when a driver backed out of the fuel island. I started blowing my horn when he was about ten feet away from me, on the blind. As in he couldn't see me from ANY angle. What frosted my bag about the situation was that thelot was nealy full. NO ONE would pay witness! Guess who had to pay? Not all of it, but about 25% of the repair bill came outta my pocket. Roughly, $13,500 total. Should I name the company? The driver? He was an anal orrifice, too.

 

Witnessed a truck from Chattanooga (c) take off the front end of a Earl Henderson truck in Ontario, Cali at the east side t/a. That driver stopped.

Funny thing, the Henderson was nowhere to be found. So i called Henderson, looking for the driver. Guess what? THEY had no idea where he was at.

Point is, if we witness it then we oughta report it.

Good job on the reporting. Sometimes snitching is the best thing to do, ya know?
